But the Symbolism. . .

The major things I remember Jace giving to people in The Shadowhunter Chronicles are two witchlights, and a dagger/knife and a stele.

Okay, but let's look at it. He gave witchlights to two people: Clary and Mark. And the weapons to Emma and Kit.

The one thing all four of them had in common was that they were ripped from their old lives and had to figure out something entirely new, dealing with an incredible amount of loss.

Jace could have given Mark a knife - it probably would've come in useful in Faerie. But no, Mark was a diplomat, he says as much to Emma in Queen of Air and Darkness. And Clary is an artist. Neither of them would've properly appreciated the weapons, but the witchlights are like an symbol of turning on the light in dark times. And I think Jace understood that, how he came to the Lightwoods after being orphaned. How he began to love again and discover himself after the wars.

But Emma and Kit - they are warriors. Kit's also an amateur detective and an experienced crook, but moving on. They're fighters. They love and use the knife/dagger or stele given to them. They wanted revenge for their parents, something Jace understood as well.

It was a symbol of everything that had marked her life after the War. Clary had given her words, and she treasured them: Jace had given her a stele, and with it given a griefstricken and frightened girl a purpose. When she touched the stele, it whispered that purpose to her: The future is yours now. Make it what you will.

Jace gives the things to them in their opening books, Clary in City of Bones, Mark and Emma in City of Heavenly Fire, and Kit in Queen of Air and Darkness and Secrets of the Blackthorn Hall. When they begin figuring out who they want to be and whom they love after tragedy.

This relation and symbolism is beautiful, but also illustrates Jace's understanding of the people around him, which I really appreciate.

The amount of times I could have been that white girl in the horror movie could honestly be a movie in itself and it’s honestly a waste that my entire life isn’t constantly recorded on film because it would be HILARIOUS

I want one of those scenes in a dude bro film where “tomboy” chick has to wear a dress to go undercover or whatever, but instead of the guys drooling as she walks down the stairs, they’re like “k. U need to stop. Go put the cargo pants back on. You look super uncomfortable and awkward in that. Brutus, you go be the fake prostitute.”

I'm gonna be thinking about this all day

cheers to the “bruce wayne is not batman” tag on ao3

or alternatively, au where dr wayne moonlights at doc thompkins clinic where he keeps meeting these teen vigilantes….. WHOSE kids are these? who let these INFANTS out to fight crime? anyway he uses his sleeper detective skills to track down the vigilantes and…??? be their dad??

omg wait. the drake estate also has a cave system underneath that tim finds and opens it up as a base of operations and thats where the bat theme came from. i TAKE your batcave and i SHIFT it one plot of land to the left.

I think the message of Howl’s Moving Castle is that in order to maintain a successful relationship with some kind of fucked up wizard, you must find it in yourself to also be some kind of fucked up wizard.

there is something so darkly comical about tumblr potentially outliving twitter

tumblr, which is held together with duct tape and madness, run by three raccoons in blood stained Yahoo! hats and a handful of crabs, its only discernible source of income the sale of shoelaces from an inside joke so inside no one knows the original source anymore and fake blue checkmarks... that website still lives on

truly the cockroach of social media and I love it for that

instead of threatening to knock you into next week, i'm going to knock you into last week. have fun reliving events that have already come to pass until you figure out how to avoid the same fate again. or don't, and get another temporal displacement knuckle sandwich.

Naw that’s literally it.
